I'm glad you liked them both! Meghan - "Horrific but engrossing." Perfect words. Susan - Thanks for those recommendations. I'm going to look into them for sure. And thanks for the Weekly Geeks post! Sarah - I think this is a book that you would like based on your reading interests. I look forward to hearing what you think. Tara - Just thinking about it makes me shudder. It's awful. Jen - Tell me if you do get it. I'd love to know what you think. Kathy - I'm totally clueless when it comes to supermodels. Even now. I couldn't tell you who was popular at all. Melissa - I agree. I like memoirs better than biographies, although I've read very few biographies. They are terrible fascinating. Michelle - Somebody else who read the book! Have you read any of the others? Samantha - I hope you do read it! Mee – I’m looking forward to reading Desert Dawn. I’m glad you liked them both!

I enjoy the form; for some reason, I find them more accessible than biographies (or even autobiographies). And this one sounds like fascinating (if a bit difficult to handle at times).

I was old enough in the late 80's to know who supermodels were, but I don't remember her. Her story does sound fascinating though. I love memoirs like this too.

Female circumcision is just one of worst things I can imagine doing to a young girl. It's unbelieveable that it still goes on. I haven’t heard of this book; it sounds terribly moving.
